NAME

       upet2mnc  -  convert  a  Concorde microPET format file to a MINC format
       file.

SYNOPSIS

       upet2mnc [<options>] <infile> <outfile.mnc>

       upet2mnc -help

DESCRIPTION

       The upet2mnc command is used to convert Concorde microPET format  files
       to MINC format.

       The  microPET  format  consists of two files, a binary image and a text
       header. The header file generally has the same name as the  image  with
       the  suffix  ".hdr"  appended.   Normally  you  can specify the name of
       either the binary image or the text header file on  the  command  line.
       However,  both  of  the  files  should be in the same directory for the
       converter to locate both files correctly.

OPTIONS

       Note that options can be specified in abbreviated form (as long as they
       are unique) and can be given anywhere on the command line.

       -head  Orient  the image according to typical neurological conventions,
              with the Y axis oriented from the posterior to anterior,  the  Z
              axis  oriented  from  inferior  to superior, and X oriented from
              patient left to patient right.

       -body  Orient the image such that the Y axis is oriented from  superior
              to  inferior, the Z axis is oriented from posterior to anterior,
              and X from patient left to patient right.

       -quiet Quiet  operation  -  do  not   print   progress   or   debugging
              information.
